Jere used to wear me out on data. He asked me for every dyno file I ran, on everything. We often disagreed, but always figured out what was happening. He used to go talk to Grump, and play back our conversations to him. Funny to know "Grump thinks you're fairly sharp", funnier to have Jere say "Bill said to tell you you're a dumb *****, you know better than that!" I'd give near anything to have more time with both. Jere eventually came my way on the value of the two step header over the one step, and true merge collectors.Took a couple of months to get him to see what I was saying about A/F ratio sensors. He taught me a bunch about camshafts, wanted to teach me more, asked me to go have classes with Harvey Crane. Not getting the chance to spend more time with them reminds me to try to spend more time with my mentor, Jimmy Bridges. Those guys and WJ are all a lot alike. Hard to get to know, coarse, and blunt. I've figured out that they just didn't spend time on "frills and dressings", they got to the point, and they had zero time for people who don't listen and think. People who didn't/don't like them have simply never been fortunate enough to actually know them.
